The Vancouver Canucks have been fined $50,000 by the NHL for violating offseason training rules for players, sources told Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli.
The Canucks were holding on-ice sessions with players in Vancouver from April 17-23 after the season had ended, which is a violation of the collective bargaining agreement, per Sportsnet's Rick Dhaliwal.
Forwards Dakota Joshua and Jack Studnicka were among six players to take part in the on-ice training sessions with Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who work for the team as development coaches.
The Canucks finished 38-37-7 last season to miss the playoffs for the third straight year.
